Code by Daniel Schlaepfer

Our simulation experiment was run with SOILWAT v0.1.0-gtd (available from our github repository as R package). We used a wrapper R script v0.1.0-gtd to organize simulation runs and output as SQLite databases. The relevant simulation output will be made available at Dryad XXX.
